Reducing cylindrical bodies



My l, m24. m99534- J. A. KATZENMEYER REDUC ING CYLINDRICAL BDIES Filed June 5, 1922 3 Sheets-Sheet 2 rotationof the heads will tend to rotate the article, such tendency increasin with the angle between the planes ofrotatlon and the axis of the article. In such case it will be preferred that' the rotation of the'articlc should be determined by the eedmechanisrn.

I claim herein as my invention:

1.. A mechanism for reducing a cylindrical body having in combination means for rotating and moving said body longitudinally, a

head adapted to -rotate in a planeapproxiconstant relation to radii passing through points of impact of the reducing members with the hody lining reduced.

3. The method hei-cin described of reduc- -ing cylindrical hodics which consists in ro tating and moving .said body longitudinally and subjecting il io thc successive impacts of a plurality of spherical clcincnts movinA in a plane having a iixcd relation to radii passing through the. oints oi impact of said elements with said Ibod 4. The method herein described of reducing cylindrical. bodies which consists in ro tating and moving; said body .longitudinally and subjecting it to thc impact of a plurality of spherical elements moving;l in the direction of the movement of the body at the instant of impact in a piane havin(T a fixed relation to radii passing through tie points of im` pact of said. elements `with said body.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set f my hand.
